Michael Graf

I got my first job in Hollywood at Disney Studios because of an earthquake. I got my second job in Hollywood because of a klutz move at a salad bar.

I’m now a working member of the DGA, a produced screenwriter, won an Emmy Award, been short listed for the Academy’s prestigious Nicholl Fellowship, won top screenwriting honors at film festivals in Cannes, Paris, LA, Nassau and Park City, directed two Super Bowl commercial campaigns, was the inaugural Writer In Residence at the University of Wisconsin Institute For Discovery, and was named a “Top 25 Screenwriter To Watch” by the International Screenwriters Association.

Produced screenplays are the Austin Film Festival Audience Award winner GREEN AND GOLD starring Craig T. Nelson, Brandon Sklenar and Charlie Berens and WINTER OF FROZEN DREAMS starring Thora Birch and Keith Carradine.

I’m still prone to occasional klutz moves, but am grateful for every opportunity to tell a good story.
